It's been a little while since I've updated the blog -- and there's a reason for that. I went on vacation! Well... kind of. I think most know by now that my mom fell and broke her hip. She's been released from the hospital and I went home to Nebraska to help her out around the house.

Before making it to Lincoln, though, I stopped by Seattle for a previously scheduled trip to see my best friend, Molly, her wife, Angie, and to meet their new baby, Jade!

Isn't Jade just adorable?!? In between play time, a picnic and a Mariners game, the four of us spent an hour together at a neighborhood park so I could capture family photos. I can't wait to share more from this amazing family!
